We have a HP color laser printer, one of the older 4700 models. It's a great printer, but we still need to purchase these big cartridges from time to time. With 4 of them -CMYK- it's one of the tasks that we don't mind undertaking. The cartridge is accompanied by easy instructions, simple install and HP provides free UPS shipping for back the used cartridge.

I have been purchasing this product for a few years and there has been instances that I been wanting to save and go with the generic brand but I feel that these cartridges are longer lasting and if I used something else other than the brand then I would see problems with the equipment but and or the quality of the documents we print. I just feel that the item is pricely and the return form the recycled cartridge is nothing compared to the cost of the HP vendor to manufacture a new cartridge.

Since we began to use exclusively HP cartridges instead of reconditioned cartridges, our printers are working better. He have much less down time for machine repair and cleaning. The extra cost of the cartridges is worth the increased productivity.
